01- Post MI Betablockers for Good?
Patients receiving optimal medical treatment after MI do not seem to benefit from betablockers in the long term, provided they do not present cardiac failure or systolic function deterioration.

In patients at high bleeding risk with drug-eluting stents, the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy has been subjected to ongoing review. Guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) suggest shortening this treatment to a maximum of three to six months (Class IIb). The ESC establishes a difference depending on whether the condition is acute or chronic.

03- ISCHEMIA: Prognosis is Determined by Anatomy, not Functionality
The ISCHEMIA study keeps providing scientific news. This work in patients with stable coronary artery disease had already shown (to our surprise) that ischemic burden does not predict 4-year mortality.

04- Best Revascularization Strategy in Patients with Left Ventricular Deterioration
Multivessel disease associated to ventricular function deterioration is challenging in terms of risk, when choosing a revascularization strategy.

05- High Risk Anatomy Challenges ISCHEMIA Outcomes
According to this recent analysis published in JAHA, patients with stable Ischemic heart disease and high-risk anatomy benefit from revascularization at long term vs. the conservative treatment.

06- Novel DES Technology Promises to Become the Next DES Generation
The novel technology of drug-eluting stent Supreme was designed to synchronize antiproliferative drug release and leave a base behind to promote healing.

07- ISCHEMIA: New Analysis Might Change Study Outcome Interpretation
A new ISCHEMIA analysis has shown its outcomes are highly dependent on MI definition. The original conclusion had shown a significant difference between invasive and conservative strategies using the most sensible definition of MI: troponin elevation.

08- ESC 2021 | Acute and Chronic Myocardial Injury in COVID-19 Patients and Impact in Mortality
In patients hospitalized for COVID-19, both acute and chronic myocardial injury impact survival at 6 months. In addition, the risk does not disappear after the acute phase of the disease, instead it persists in the following months among those who survive.

09- Bifurcations: A Long Return Journey
When it looked like the simplest techniques reach the best outcomes, along came the DK Crush studies. Indeed, after the COVIS III results in bifurcations, it appeared we had started to retrace our steps back to the foundation.

10- CT and Angiography Agreement in Patients from the ISCHEMIA Trial
Computed tomographic (CT) angiography showed a high degree of agreement with conventional angiography to detect significant coronary artery disease and rule out left main disease.
